Thread: Follow up to pump action Dilemma

So I sat in on a call today with my associate while he spoke to a gentleman from the FSA he could not have been more apologetic, for what had occurred previously, he told there had been mistakes made, but they would have to seize the firearm and that no action would be taken against my associate as he had done nothing wrong other than take some very poor advice from an officer during the buyback.
They could not pay compensation that boat had sailed.
To clarify he had tried to surrender it once but was sent home with it, it was then inspected in his safe 8 months ago and he was again told all good, he then registered within 30 days of his renewal visit so 7 months ago and whoever took the details never indicated there was any issues when registering it, the chap from FSA said it was picked up as a banned gun in an audit last week.
He did tell us this was not an isolated case and that we would be shocked by how many restricted firearms are being picked up when registered.
Any way to wrap it up the firearms surrender has been organised and the police officers at the appropriate station will be informed that no action is to be taken against my associate when he surrenders the gun to them.
This apart from the fact he will get no compensation, has been handed reasonably in my estimation by the chap whom with we spoke today .
